Has the wiki got its own image storage? Many image storage sites close accounts if they aren't active during a certain time.

Oh, this is my first article for the wiki. I'll add more information later. I also modified the Spanish wikka home page to update the information.

Please let me know how I'm doing. Very Happy


Great stuff, if you keep prefixing Spanish pages with 'es'. that will be very useful in the future, when some proper native language function is introduced.

I've added Breadcrumbs at the top, and Category at the bottom on your page:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/es_Puppy_Linux

As 'español' is the Spanish homepage it should index the other Spanish pages or indexes. (I've added it to the index category).
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/espanol. BTW you can link internally using [[es Puppy Linux|Puppy Linux]] instead of [[http:://www.puppylinux.org/wikka/es_Puppy_Linux Puppy Linux]]

---

You are the first person to use the new page name format that allows spaces ' '. Unfortunately, these pages don't seem to be fully supported in Wikka 1.3.2. For example the automatically generated Category page thinks your page is a link to 'es' with the text 'Puppy Linux', but really it is a link to es_puppy_linux with no text specified. see
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/CategoryEspanol

Maybe Wikka 1.3.3 has better support for this feature. I will PM Raffy requesting the upgrade.

Note, Wikka is changing the page name convention so for links. Link text is now defined after putting a vertical bar '|' after the page title. For example:-
[[es Puppy Linux|Puppy Linux]] -> Puppy Linux
[[SoftwareIndex|Software]] -> Software

ref, http://docs.wikkawiki.org/FormattingRules#hn_8._Links

With regard to images-

I tried photobucket but that was slow. I will try imageshack. Ultimately I want to a plugin for wikka that can grab all the images and save to a single location. This will remove reliance on the forum and other websites that change image locations from time to time.

At the moment I am posting images to the forum and linking to them. The links have long urls so it's no that convenient. Here's the thread I'm dumping images at-

I'm using My Opera photo albums, since I have an email account there that I access frequently and the links seem to be fix. But it would be convenient to have a specific location that doesn't depend on how often the owner logs in or on the TOS. I mean, some photo sharing sites force to put a link of the gallery to the photo, would that be OK?

Agreed, short term I'm just using the forum to store images at the moment. Medium term I need to look into how the wikka software can upload images. Long term I plan to write a plugin that copies all the images linked to a single location, once the software works then ask someone for a place to host them.

What precisely do you mean by OK? I think it would be okay to use these types of images on the wiki - but not ideal. It might not in okay in that Wikka may not display these images correctly.

Would that count as advertisement? For example, a link with the name of the image hosting site next to the picture, or clicking the picture leads to the image hosting site.
I agree, the code to embed images in that way seldom seems to be compatible. I embeded a picture from My Opera in this page, and it worked just because puppylinux.info uses the same code, I can't do the same in murga-linux or the wiki.
Anyway, I'll keep on writing and experimenting.

Looks like you sorted link to Opera images. Regard advertising the image host, I cant see this being a problem, but not ideal of course. Cool

Thanks Raffy, will now be able to report bugs to the Wikka project.

For example, non-existent internal links still show the same as good internal links.

Good news is that pages with spaces in their names now work properly when generated in Category pages-

Welcome to the Wiki the-jub and Hotdog

Good to see your edits, its been quite lonely on there recently. ; -)

---
the-jub,

I noticed you corrected a FatDog64 link,

If there are two or more different pages names that could apply then 'redirect' may be useful.
For example, I've made a page called Fatdog64 and redirected it using-
Code:
{{redirect target="Fatdog"}}


---

If you have any questions feel free to PM me. This page may be useful
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/WikiStyleGuide

---

BTW the Wikka software is under development, plus it may not be configured in the best way. I'm compiling a list of bugs, PM me or contact the Wikka project if you come across anything. One example is good and broken internal links looking the same, broken internal links should appear with a dashed underscore or in red.
